Lake Texana

So this past Friday Richard and Patsy picked up Matthew and Aubrey and headed to Lake Texana. I had to work Friday night and Saturday afternoon. So after I got off on Saturday Rick picked me up and we went to Lake Texana. We ended up staying the night with them in the Motorhome. I guess you could say it was a test run for when we go to Dinosaur Valley State Park the 1st weekend in JUNE.

Here is a picture of the kids in the motorhome

I guess you really can't call this roughing it with TV and Air conditioning.

The kids had a BLAST and can't wait to go back! Hopefully they won't mind trying it in a tent next time. Who know Grammie and Papa may have spoiled them already!

When we arrived on Saturday Richard and Patsy had dinner made for us and Rick and I brought the fixin's for SMORES. You can't go camping and not have smores.

Here we are making smores.

We also got to see some deer really close up. Matthew thought it was GREAT as for Aubrey well if you know her you can imagine the screaming. Her Aunt Lynn could have possibly heard it at her house.

Here we are tricking the deer thinking we had food for her. Matthew was so excited that he got so close to the deer.

At lake Texana they also had a playground area for the kids. Matthew and Aubrey fell in love with the Rock climbing wall. I had to help Aubrey a little bit but after one time she became a PRO. I swear this girl is going to have some upper body strength. I hope she can keep that up for when she gets older and not be so weany like her mother.

Here are some pictures of the rest of the weekend

Something New

OK - So it's been a LOOOONG while since I've posted. Life is CRAZY at the moment, but I promise to get back in the swing of things. I'm going to start with the SPT of the week. SOMETHING NEW...

Well my something new is the Nintendo Wii. Yes I know I'm still a kid at heart. But I don't think you can get too old for games. Heck this is one game my HUSBAND will play with me. Something we can do together and laugh at each other with. We've tried teaching the kids but they are still a little impatient yet independent on the whole thing. They don't have a clue about what they are doing but they sure do try. We let them play the boxing game and they look so funny swinging those tiny little arms around in the air. I will have to get a picture of them playing and post it so you can see for yourself.

Oh yeah as for Mother's Day ! It was wonderful. Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to spend with the family playing. All though there was no card RICK - oh wait that's right he showed it to me in the store read it to me and said now I don't have to buy it. What a sense a humor!!! As for the kids they made things for me at school. Aubrey had a plant for me and a poem with her handprints on it and Matthew has a different poem with his handprints on the paper. I just LOVE these Memory Keepsakes. Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day and many more to come.
